I wish to put my machine in the field against any other stacker made. Send for circular. John Hague, Alliancet Neb. At the World's Tair. The Hhrald is in receipt of a letter from James W. Christy of this county who has been sight seeing at the World's fair and the contents being of such interesting nature we publish the same for the benefit of our readers. Editor Hkkld: If my memory serves me rightly I almost promised to coin ply with a request from you to briefly outline the St. Louis Exposition as I saw it, and I would just say that my vocabulary is too limited to ap proach, say nothing about writing a descriptive aiticlc of its architectural beauty and varied interesting features. The fair grounds cover an area of 1240 acres constituting what is known as "Forest Park" and is beautifully em bellished with nature's own handiwork, besides being touched up and beauti fied in an artistic manner by the hand of man. There ate more than 1000 buildings on the grounds, of which there arc no two alike alike, but the princi pal educational features of the great show are confined to about fifteen mag nificent palaces, or show buildings in which the general exhibits are displayed in the most artistic manner possible. These buildings vary in size and archi tectuie, covering an area of from four to twenty acics, the agricultural build ing being the largest, and there is food for thought in everv foot of the miles of corridors in these vast structures. Theie aie only two groups of buildings on the grounds that are of permanent nature, viz, the "palaces of fine art" and the "administration group" the rest being of a temporary nature and cream color in appearance. Most of the states are represented on the grounds with buildings of their own, in some of which their principal products are dis played while others are exclusively for rest and entertainment. The visitor from Nebraska however, need not look for the Nebraska building for it is not there, but don't think for a moment that Nebraska is not represented, for sho makes an excellent showing in many lines, especially in the agricultural and horticultural buildings; don't miss them. All those who are in harmony with the thought that "the greatest study of mankind is man," will find much of in terest among the civilized and uncivil ized tribes in the section set apart for them in the southwest nart of the grounds. Not the least attraction in this section is the wild and weird dances of an uncivilized tribe of Fili pinos in their abbreviated costumes. I had nearly forgotten to refer to "the pike" in this letter, however, I am sure that any one attending the fair will not overlook so important a feature, for there is much of interest in a general way on that popular thoroughfare. In conversation with those who at tended the World's fair at Chicago, in comparing one with the other, they say that this one is far ahead of the Chica go fair in many important respects. The illuminations at night are not quite what one might expect and yet they aie very beatiful. Those whom 1 talked with that attended the exposi tion at Buffalo, N. V., claimed that its illuminations were far superior to this, but as I remember, that was their chief attraction and when we take into consid eration that they had almost unlimited power from Ningra Falls we can't wonder at their superiority. There are many places of interest in the city of St. Louis that should be visited by all those attending the ex position from our section of the country, for instance, "Shaws gardens," "Tower park," the 'Husch Brewing plant," and others. And every afternoon there are excursion boats running down the Mississippi to "Jefferson barracks," a four hours trip for the small sum of 25 cents. Now as to accommodations I would say there need be no anxiety for it seems that special efforts have been put forth along those lines. Near the Union station and out on the grounds they make a special effort to get all your sheckles but at intermediate points, extortions are not common. As to the best time to attend the fair I would say when it is the most con venient for you. There is much to be done yet before every detail is com pleted, but there is more to see there now than the brain can assimilate in many weeks. If I had it to do over again I would go just when I did. While this letter seems brief to me it may seem long to you.
